Quickies #12

Another in a series of random crap from my head...

• I take a break from this blog thing for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose. I still haven't managed to get through my normal blog list yet (and it appears that Bill Whittle has cooked up another great entry that I haven't had a chance to read yet, but everyone else is raving about it).
• Is it just me or have people been jumpy, grouchy, and generally discombobulated over the past few days? I'd blame the full moon, but it would be unscientific of me to make such a superstitious statement. :)
• It seems that the hate-filled invective of the pro-Saddam appeasement crowd (and the left in general) has been unleashed over on the weblogs of Megan McArdle and Andrea Harris. Maybe the full moon has hit the left as well.
• According to my handy VFW calendar, the Desert Storm ground offensive began in Iraq on February 24, 1991. The 12th anniversary of that will be one week from today. If we're going to go in there, then let's damn well get it over with. It's unfortunate that we're going to have to keep futzing around with the UN and the EUroweasel appeaseniks (I suppose it'll be worth it if it helps Tony Blair, but it had better not cost us any strategic or tactical advantage, which could mean more lives lost on all sides).
• I saw a Dodge Ram today with a pair of balls hanging from the trailer hitch receiver (if you've ever seen the south end of a bull, you'll know what I'm talking about). I've seen propellers and various other humorous devices, but I've never seen balls on a truck before. I thought it was damn funny, but I have to admit that I'm easily amused. :) Update: Here's a link to the product.
